Le Corbusier is famous for his work as an architect and for his contribution to the development of new urban planning theories.
The reader should recall the famous Ville Contemporaine of 1922, the neighborhood in Pessac, France, of 1925, or the celebrated Plan Voisin for Paris—projects and plans from the early period of modern architecture and precursors of contemporary planning—and will realize the transcendental role played by the well-known architect.
Starting from a general approach to the motivations that shaped modern architecture, Le Corbusier develops what he calls "the acquisition of an instrumentality," analyzing step by step the different problems of urbanism: land use, circulation, urban density, housing typology, workplaces and recreation centers, industrial location... proposing solutions that remain valid today and are part of contemporary design thinking.

How to Conceive of Urbanism is the work not of a theorist, but of a figure who verified the validity of his ideas in practice. Published in France in 1943 during the occupation, it remains an essential document on the subject.
